My cousin is trying to convince me to come up to winni and fish 19 mile bay or somewhere around wolfboro, we'll be on foot, anyone been out there in the last day or two and know how those areas are holding up?

Still researching conditions but I'll likely try winni this weekend. I have a spot on Mousam that's great in the spring but reports on the edges are bad and it's a jackpot snow total area. I'll go farther north if I have to but I'd be fishing pretty blind with no experience past Silver. Sunapee's another option.

16 inches on winter harbor yesterday. Edges were shot at my access point and needed waders to get on. Pre storm white perch bite was excellent. A lot of emergency vehicles over by Libby Museum towards dark. A few groups were out in this area. Not sure what happened as I was further up the bay?

If there is still over a foot of ice in the lakes region, and probably some refreezing over the next few days/nights, you could still be on the ice in April!Just can't fish the trout/salmon waters after the 1st.

I might head back up for one more go-around in the next couple of weekends....

May try winni again this weekend, Ive only been once But I thought it was weird that we jigged two and got no flags, Is winni like sebago in that jigging is the way to go? Maybe the depth was off on my tip ups.

I have 120 (and counting) reasons this year to suggest jigging is better than traps for lakers.

Nice!

Yeah I was not complaining when I got 4 on the jig rod the first time chasing them with sub par rods and gear. Seems that 120-160ish lakers is about the high season norm, at least from some posts here on IS.
